I was honored to be asked by Free Spirit fabrics to make three tuffets for their booth at Spring Quilt Market in Salt Lake City! The gorgeous fabrics I was given were from the Kaffe Fassett Collective Spring 2016 line, April Cornell's Gypsy Dance, and Tanya's Whelan's Zoey's Garden. You can image how thrilled I was!

Here is the Zoey's Garden tuffet. I made it with the typical 64 strips, but added a ruffle and fussy cut the button to highlight the bird:

Next is the Kaffe Fassett Spring 2016 line. For this one, I decided to go with strips that were twice as wide as a typical tuffet has. I felt it was a nice way to show off the fabrics.

Last is the Gypsy Dance tuffet. This was especially fun because it involved a border print. I chose to do a combination of wide and narrow strips for this one. Its button also features a fussy-cut bird!

I still can't get over how honored I was to be asked. I know I'm gushing, but you'll forgive me, right?

We had to take this on our neighbor's lawn because ours had too many weeds!
